Towards (even more) practical Faust: Polyphony, Portamento and Pitch Bend in Faust VSTi-s
نویسنده
چکیده
Faust is a musical signal processing language. The Faust compiler and the toolset provided along with it enable generating standalone synthesizers and plug-ins for various architectures. We noticed that while being a very useful tool for sound synthesis its VSTi plug-ins lack several critical features for practical usage in combination with music production software and digital audio workstations (DAW). We focus on the VST architecture as one that has been used traditionally and is supported by many tools and add several important features: polyphony, note history and pitch-bend support. The contribution of polyphony is a step towards making Faust a practical tool for real-wold music production.

Extending the Faust VST Architecture with Polyphony, Portamento and Pitch Bend
We introduce the vsti-poly.cpp architecture for the Faust programming language. It provides several features that are important for practical use of Faust-generated VSTi synthesizers. We focus on the VST architecture as one that has been used traditionally and is supported by many popular tools, and add several important features: polyphony, note history and pitch-bend support. These features t...
متن کاملThe rise of fixed pitch systems and the slide of continuous pitch: A note for emotion in music research about portamento
Background in music psychology and history. Psychological and historical factors such as the desire to imitate, and the development of music notation systems and sound recordings, each appear to have contributed to the demise and suppression of portamento (pitch bending) in music, and the singing voice in particular. Portamento offers potential expressive resources in both music and speech, and...

We introduce OM-Faust, an OpenMusic library including objects and functions to write, compile and control Faust programs. Faust is a domain-specific functional programming language designed for DSP. The integration of Faust in OpenMusic enables composers to program and compile their own audio effects and synthesizers, controllable both in real-time or deferred time contexts. This implementation...
